Son:  Dad are we Irish?
Dad:  Shuttup and finish your whiskey!

Haha!
 
When I was in Belfast a few years ago, my friend's wife (who i didn't know very well) was driving me somewhere.
 
"That's Van Morisson's house," she said as we drove past.
"Who's Van Morisson," I asked politely.
I chuckled to myself for the next 15 minutes as she went on a loud rant about Irish music, how the world only ever hears about "F'ing U2" and how I could be so unaware...

The entymology of 'Irish'.
 
After a few pints, head in your hands "I RISH I was Ingrissssh."
 

I'm orange irish.  Try explaining that to your kids!  If we hadn't fought in the U.S. revolutionary war on the rebel side, we'd be irredeemable.  Bless you Grandma and Grandpa  McChryllis.

This guy?
 
 

 
/S.

Y'all be happy to know that originally St. Patrick's Day was called FEAST DAY and it was meant to celebrate the bringing of Christianity to Ireland.  The original meal was BACON and cabbage.

Well, they got it half right... 

Being in New York, St. Patrick's Day has always meant little more than having to walk around braying crowds of frat boy and sorority girl clones in shamrock green yelling "yo dude.....DUUUUDE" as they try to decide which of 100 generic Irish themed bars to go force down their next pint of watered down Guiness in. The West Indian carnival in Brooklyn is generally more fun, albeit with slightly more shootings and stabbings from year to year.
